Remarks & Notes |
Kennecott Copper Corporation was in the process of replacing its electric railroad equipment with diesels in the late 1970s. Alco RS-2 #737 (blt. Nov 1949) is pictured working near Copperton in the Bingham Canyon Copper Mine. The 737's tenure in the pit was short lived as it would be parted out by 1981 to keep other diesels operational. |
